This might be one of those, “Is it just me?” things, I’ve been having those a lot lately, but this art in the middle of the front room window reminds me of that scene in “A Christmas Story” when the dad wins a leg lamp–a Major Award.
It does look Frag-il-e.
This is a house in San Clemente right down the street from my brother’s place. I asked him, and yes, the guy who lives there is single. Weird.
♥♥♥♥♥♥
Inspired by the photo, today I’m listening to J.Geils Band “Centerfold.”
Jenny says
I’m wondering if this guy actually brings dates back to his place. Very Christmas Story-ish.
Muthering Heights says
LOLOLOL, you’re SO RIGHT!!! That was the first thing I though of when I saw your photo!!!
Jaime says
Bwa ha ha! I thought the same thing too! That’s hilarious… and a little creepy.
Pacey says
Ha! So cool. Though weird. Great shot and post. Love this. Thanks for the visit.
Elaina says
Uhm…to each his own?
daytrippingmom says
I thought the same thing!! LOL~~ Only a single man would proudly display this in his front window!
chrome3d says
At least he has art in the house.
Busy Bee Suz says
Very funny.
I am guessing he did not get this at IKEA.
Molly says
I once saw the Christmas Story Leg Lamp in a catalog and wondered who would buy that. Now I know!
Fun shot!
Serendipitous Girl says
Hmmm … fra-gi-le. Must be Italian.
Stacy says
LOL…too funny! Yes, that is totally Christmas Story right there!
noe noe girl says
Those pin-up / leg lamp girls are back in style and all the rage!
What a great shot!
Dawn says
That is too funny! It reminds me of a while back when I would go on my daily walk around the neighborhood. One house used to have a cardboard cutout of Martha Stewart in their front window. Not sure which is more disturbing! 🙂
Mental P Mama says
I think we need to introduce ourselves to him and get an invitation in…
AndreaBakerslove says
This is a tad creepy, sort of like an opening scene on CSI, but in a good way.
fancy feet says
Oh, the leg lamp! I love that movie. I can’t imagine who decided to put that girl up in their window. Was it on a whim? A dare? Was it a well thought out plan or did someone just lose a bet?
Rebeccah Dean says
It totally reminds me of a Christmas Story. Cool picture though.

My uncle is single, and he has a leg. Just a leg, on the balcony ledge overlooking the living room. The rest of his home is very tasteful and spare and all about angles and stuff (he’s an architect). But that one bit of pure whimsy is my favorite thing about his decor.
And no, I wouldn’t want it, but it works, you know? Sort of like fuschia and blue paint trim on your coastal house.
kelly says
awesome! i would have been sooo tempted to knock on the door & see who lives inside!
Sandi says
He’s probably the same guy who drives THE truck. You know.. tire splash guard pads are decorated with a white shiloutte of a seated naked woman. (or on the truck beds back window.)
Those have always been my fav!
Live More Now says
Well, when you’re single, there’s nothing like a little wishful thinking. There’s also nothing quite like “single creepy guy.”
Very funny! Love the photo.
Lachezar says
This is a great snap!
As for the art, kitschy all right, but I wouldn’t mind one for my window too…
Cheers Suzanne, keep that sense of humour coming!
ElizabethMT says
So strange! And yet I totally like it! Does he keep his window open at night? Or is it in shadow then? Great photo 🙂
kcharroin says
LOVE this!!! It would be great if it was plastic and lit up from within.
Well Behaved Krissy says
ahhhahahahah…. I think it needs to move a little more to the left… no the other left… wait thats… PER-FECT. Sam-hell you said you won that? Yep… mind power.
